The song is a metaphor of his relationship between himself and songwriting and his fans over the past 20 25 years.
Thats what I caught as well. My wife and I talked about how his relationship with music (lost the thrill) could be likened to one of his passionless relationships. clever
No, it's not. He didn't write it. People keep forcing this meaning on it, but it's just not the case.
@@jasonchism2102 He was a coauthor and many songs are designed to be metaphorical and open to interpretation intentionally.
From the man himself. czcams.com/video/7X_nftPFn6o/video.html
@@jasonchism2102 It's true that he didn't write it, but he recently admitted on a Howard Stern interview, that, yes, it is partially about his relationship to music.
There is a possible deeper interpretation that the "woman" is actually a representation of his creativity and musical inspiration. He could also be asking if he can still create music that is relevant. Did he wait too long to turn the lights back on? He's a genius ❤
A beautiful alternative interpretation...Love him so much! Yes, a genius indeed!
This is the way I’ve interpreted this song since I first heard it
This is absolutely how I heard it the first time I listened and is how I still interpret it
And no, it’s not too late! 🥰
This is about being away from creating music for three decades.
Stole the Grammys with an absolute stellar performance. Btw, your review was solid and you are an absolute goddess in and out. :)
The day after Billy performed this song on The Grammys I got a call from an old girlfriend. She said hearing that and knowing I was such a fan and wondered if I might feel that way about her. We met the next day, she said she felt that me and us. Short version, We're getting married tomorrow. Just sharing, thanks for reading.❤❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 ❤
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 ❤😊
That's soooo cool!
Billy Joel is a Living Legend. A great singer, a great song writer and most importantly a great performer. 👏🔥🎶
A true genius, artist, poet, performer, and Piano Man.
So great to see him back and sharing his huge talent with us all again.
Thank you for sharing.
Omg. He just released the official video for the song. Please watch it. It’ll bring you to tears.
Billy's daughters are Taylor Swift fans, so they're acquainted. Olivia Rodrigo has actually sung with Billy at a concert, and Billie Eilish is definitely a fan. See, the young ones are hip to the Joel! So, Billy's last full album of pop songs came out in 1993 and since then he's put out a classical album, compilations, and a single that he didn't intend to release (but was most likely pressured because of contractual obligations). So he wasn't exactly happy with that, and he wasn't happy making new music anymore, so he stopped, point blank. Until a songwriter/producer named Freddy Wexler approached him with a song that they could potentially collaborate on...and that is something Billy never does, big names have tried and failed to collaborate with him. But he liked this song enough to work on it with Freddy, and actually he thought they were going to give it to Adele. But Freddy convinced him to go back into the studio to record it. Long story short, it happened, and Billy fans all over the world rejoiced 😄
There were two artists who collaborated with Billy - Ray Charles and Cindi Lauper. Billy and Ray recorded "Baby Grand" together and Cindi did back up vocals for "Code of Silence." She also helped him write it. That's a fun story. He hit a road bump and couldn't think of anything creative to write about. Cindi just happened to be in a room at the same studio he was at the time and he asked her for help. And of course, as everyone knows, Ray Charles was a source of inspiration for Billy.
@@SurvivorBri yes! You are correct. I should have said "rarely" instead of "never," but it was SO rare that it could practically be never 😁 Billy tried with other big names, but they just didn't work out. Like I just heard him say on Howard Stern's show, even Burt Bacharach didn't mesh with him.
I will die a Billy Joel fan. Innocent Man, River Of Dreams, Big Shot, You May Be Right are all songs you should hear. Billy said he has a young crowd that comes to his concerts. He said he's shocked when they sing along word for word ❤
It's like when someone asks me how long have I been a Billy Joel fan and I tell them my whole life because as a kid of the 80s I grew up with his music and I'm still a huge huge Billy Joel fan
1st song in 17 years. Will be his 1st album in 31 years.
He released a classical album since then. It's brilliant, too.
He hasn't confirmed an album yet as far as I know though. He's left it at "idk" basically
Billy stopped writing original material in the 90's--said he hated the writing process...BUT by that time he had decades of great music.
Now that you know Billy Joel, Hall and Oates and others…go watch, “We are the world” again!! ❤
I second that!!!!
Billy Joel
It's A Matter of Trust
Thanks for sharing this reaction. Billy Joel, a living legend has delivered a time machine and testimony with this song. At once, a showcase of his treasured talent, and a reanimation of the feelings evoked for generations of listeners who believe his last words will never be enough.
Billy Joel is G.O.A.T. Great reaction
I absolutely love this song, I've been playing it like crazy! The official music video also made me so emotional!
Billy Joel - New York State of Mind - Live at the (Old Grey Whistle Test).....absolutely amazing!!!
YES!!!
Billy Joel at his best in this live version from the late 70's!
This is such a beautiful song and he is singing the heck out it .
What a great song, he didnt write it, he collborated with someone else and thats fine. His voice is like old fine wine. Great to have hime back, hopefully more coming since they are going thru his unfinished materials and ideas
Billy Joel's music brought me through some sad, bad years of my life. I survived, I'm old and alive. Happily married to my second wife and retired at 66 years old. Thanks to Billy Joel for giving me music to lean on in the hard times.
You mentioned Olivia Rodrigo and she does know who Billy Joel is because she wrote a song with him in it. It's called Deja Vu. She is a big fan. Check it out.
Next Billy Joel song to review: Prelude/Angry Young Man.
Have you seen the official music video release of this song. They have Billy Joel singing this song showing him as a young performer to old performer using AI to show him at different stages of his musical career as if it's one continuous performance. His voice even goes from younger to older. You can tell its AI but it's still pretty impressive. This one got to me. Can't wait till you critique this one! Great video as usual!
i agree america can be proud of this icon. he is reknown the world over. greetings from new zealand. love billy joel the new york cool cat.
I'm a big BJ fan. I was so happy to hear him release a new song. It wasn't too late, BJ. But I feel this fits his last song written on his last album as the last song, Famous Last Words. He was true to what he meant and now, after 30 years of not writing. He comes out with this. AMAZING!!!!! This song is Timeless in the History of Music. Just understanding the song I mentioned above and understand this new song how perfect they are related is mind blowing. 99.9 % of singers will not do what he just did. I guess nobody is Billy Joel. I give him a 10 out of 10 because I feel he admitted that he was wrong to his fans that he waited to long!!! This is a song to all his fans!!!❤just AMAZING
Not sure if anyone mentioned - CBS is broadcasting Billy's 100th performance at Madison Square Garden on 4/12/2024. it will run from 9:00pm to 11:00pm EST.
Does Olivia Rodrigo know who Billy Joel is? She is a massive Billy Joel fan. She mentions him in the song Deja Vu. She performed with him at one of his concerts last year.
You mean this one...
czcams.com/video/VmvQXHoCoDM/video.htmlsi=ij3Q326iB6n_DBI1
please do more Billy Joel
He is touring this year.
He's going to tour with the great Stevie Nicks! Can't wait for them to come to Chicago!
Deeeeep rabbit hole, Brit. Billy for days!
My band used to do ‘You May Be Right’ … and one of my faves is ‘Summer: Highland Falls’ beautiful!
Dear God in heaven 🙏 this is absolutely beyond beautiful 🥲 now is all that matters, turn on the light back on high 😊 sunshine girl Timi 💝 just knock at my door, it's always open to you ❤️🔥
My music teacher in elementary school introduced me to Billy showed me alot of his music. I asked him if he would put out another song or tour outside new york he said probably not which crushed me. Now im so happy that he put this out and I will be seeing him for the first time live
Wow! A new Billy Joel song in 2024?!! That's incredible!! He said he had retired from making songs, but if he is writing again I am SOOOOO hopeful he'll make another album!
The lyrics alludes to love, but also to his writing... I really truly hope that this means he is making new music again!!! The reason he stopped was love.
As you said, Im not sure this generation know or care about his music, but they will someday.
This is Billy's first real popular music track since 1993. He released an album of classical piano pieces that was performed by someone else in the late 90s. A song was released that he wrote but had a different performer in 2007. And he released a few tracks he performed that were written by others, including the first performance of "Make You Feel My Love" which was written by Bob Dylan. This is the first track that he both did the performance and wrote the song (although the song seems to have been mostly written by Freddy Wexler channeling Billy Joel, with Billy contributing some and finishing it up.)
The master….❤❤❤
INSTANT CLASSIC!
I believe the song is about his 30 year hieghtus from song writing....turning his desire to create back on....forgiving himself maybe...it's a wonderful song. N no he didn't wait too long....no need for forgiveness. So happy you are back. Thank you Billy Joel. 🙂
Fantastic reaction. I love watching you ride the "Billy the Joel" train. To answer a question you asked.....Olivia Rodrigo has a song that includes the title of one of Joel's songs, "Uptown Girl". Billy invited her to perform at one of his MSG shows. He is ending a ten yr residency at the Garden. Over 100 sold out shows. I saw him in 22 at Notre Dame. Still rocking an almost 3 hr show. He has a really diverse list of guests at concerts. Miley Cyrus, Jon Bon Jovi, Olivia Rodrigo, Sting etc? Another question...he grew up in Hicksville and Oyster Bay. I have loved this man for 40 yrs. He's still got it at 74!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Oh, and he's always better live, unless it's "Until the Night" -- a MUST LISTEN! - because on the recording, he sings all the harmonies himself. (Same for "While the Night is Still Young"!)
It seems like the song communicates a sublime depth, because when contemplating the current decline of music, Billy Joel, after decades of silence, understands the darkness to which the musical art has been exposed. He then concludes that the time has come to turn on the lights and once again radiates the brightness and dignity to the music of our present.
I think this ia about his career also. Asking is it to late to turn the lights back on. He stayed away from creating music too long? I can see thise same questions about his come back
This song was a great juxtaposition to 'Famous Last Words' which was the last track on his last 'pop' album, River of Dreams. The song that was essentially saying good-bye for a while because he know he didn't want to write more of that kind of music then.
Maybe this is an inward conversation with his higher artist self, one that he so once loved and was in synch with, but lost that passionate connection with long ago...until now
CZcams the official lyrics video to this song. Better quality. He also performed this song at his MSG show on 2/9/24. His 100th MSG show will be airing on CBS as a special in April. The concert is next month but will air in April. Should be pretty great.
His first song in about 17years. The music video to this song is the first music video he’s done in 30years. You really should look at the music video for this song also. It was very well put together. This song is basically saying “did I wait to long to make more music”. He wasn’t going to record this song. He cowrote it with Freddy Wexler and when finished asked him who was going to sing it and Freddy said you are. Billy usually only sings songs he wrote but loved this song.
Hey Britt. So there was one song released in 2007 that Billy himself didn’t push for release so this is HIS first single since 1993 when he released his final studio album ( although there was a classical album released a few years later). This has an authentic old school Billy Joel feel. It’s been long enough that the fans believed we’d never hear anything new so frankly he could’ve farted into a mic and we’d have loved it. But this is a great return to the studio. Of course he’s been performing live shows for his entire career. I saw him last year at Hyde Park in London and he was amazing. There seems to be a belief that the song is a metaphor for his pop/rock career but in an interview he said he could write it because he’s lived it, so I reckon it’s a straight-up love story. I could be wrong.
You said we needed to have a conversation ….. there you go. I’ve started one ❤
I wish I was young enough not to know this is his first song in decades. It’s been a long time in the waiting room.
You’d be surprised how familiar the younger artists are with the older legends. Their music is timeless because it is GOOD music. Everyone knows who the Beatles were even though they broke up over 50 years ago.
I agree with your assessment that Billy stayed true to his sound. It very much sounds like a classic Billy Joel record. Nothing bothers me more than artists that sell out by jumping on the trend of the day. Maroon 5 comes to mind. They started out as a true pop rock band and then became some sort of synth techno dance group.
Billy Joel, like Elton John, is one of the best pianists in rock. He has written some great stuff: “Dont’t Go Changin” “Piano Man” Dang! He put out some great stuff.
I remember when his album Stranger came out in 77. Having Christmas dinner at my boss’s house and him playing it. Billy Joel quickly became one of my favorites.
I remember seeing an interview of him saying he had said all he had to say in songs and that was why he stopped writing popular music. He concentrated on writing classical music for a while.
Hope you enjoyed your gift from me. #HOGfam4life
You should check out his duet with Ray Charles "Baby Grand", which was written as a tribute to his daughter. It's a beautiful, but little known song.
Billy Joel is my #1 always and forever
While yes you could take this as a love song, in many ways it's a lot like ABBA's "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down" in which it kind of has a double meaning. This song could very much be interpreted as a singer reaching out to old fans
He’s talking about the Muse. Anybody know what the music is? The musical Muses anybody? The Muses of Art and creativity. The muse is what gives you inspiration. The muse is where you draw all of your creative powers from. The Muse is where you get the magic.
In ancient Greek mythology, the nine muses and daughters of Zeus King of the gods provide over song and dance. In the word, Music is the two of derived from the Greek word mousiest meaning art of the muses.
Euterpe: muse of music or flutes, often, playing flutes
This is the muse he worked with, or that worked with him
ALL women : this is about Billy not giving up on a relationship
ALL men: this is about his career in MUSIC. As he aged the music changed with no room for his perspective. However might there just be , might just be?? People will accept great music and not just the flavor of the day.
OK I'm his age but this guy is simply superb would have loved to see him live superb songwriter and performer
I had to laugh when you asked if Olivia Rodrigo knows who he is because she's actually a massive fan! There's a really heartwarming video of them performing together at MSG from a few years ago, he brought her out during a concert and they performed one of her songs and his song Uptown Girl together! I would definitely recommend you check it out when you get the chance! I just discovered your channel and I'm loving your reactions to Billy!
The full song is in Billy Joel’s channel. This is his first new song in 30 years
17 years
Obviously, the studio version is better sound quality but this gritty! He is 74 years old now. 50 years since he released piano man. And his music is still relevant. Timeless.
Billy is a legend!! Beautiful song! 😅
This song is about him being away from music for decades and not wanting to write anymore. Check out Howard stern interview where Howard gets it out of him - what this song is about.
Billy's last song was "Famous Last Words" in 1993, in which he basically said "this is the last song I'm ever writing"
Listen to AN INNOCENT MAN next on your Billy rabbit hole.
Check out Pinks award show performances of the song Glitter In The Air and the song Sober.
Not too late for THIS old guy.
Billy Joel is one of the most iconic singer/songwriters in music history. Picking songs to listen to is tough, because almost everything he's ever written has been superb. He's right up there with Elton John, who he did dual tours with for almost a decade. But he's most famous for:
Piano Man
Uptown Girl
Pressure
We Didn't Start the Fire
Italian Restaurant
She's Always a Woman
Allentown
The Entertainer
Just start listening, he's got over a dozen albums, he's one of the highest selling artists in history. Listen and learn, you won't be disappointed.
Yes, it has been 17 years.
Yup, that was a great performance. Also, did you notice the cello player just behind Billy? That was Laufey (pronounced Lay-vay), she received the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Album earlier that day. You should also listen to her. Street by Street, From the Start, Falling Behind, or for the season, Valentine. Love your love for Billy.
Billy used to put out the great songs, one after the other. His piano skills are top notch, like Elton John.
Billy Joel and Elton John are often mentioned in the same context … but honestly this sounds more like an Elton John song than a Billy Joel one.
When I first heard the song, at the beginning it reminded me of Paul McCartney, then later in the song I thought he sounded like Elton John.
So good to hear a true legend. ❤
Have you done Vienna yet? My favorite Billy Joel song.
Billy Joel's daughter's middle name is Ray after his idol, Ray Charles.
Olivia Rodrigo is a Billy Joel fan. Her song Deja Vu references Billy and Uptown Girl
I recommend you watch and comment on the official video of the song, I guarantee you will find it totally amazing and worth your time watching it.
Toby Keith Don't let the old man in, inspired by Clint Eastwood
This could be a double.... like, Have I waited too long To make some more music?
A Matter of Trust.
Pleeeaaase go down the Billy Joel rabbit hole! I watch your channel, but don't normally comment. His "B" side, or album tracks were better than the "hits" that made the radio. Start in the 70s and work your way forward. Miami 2017, New York State of Mind, and James (all live from the Old Grey Whistle Stop). Watch those, and you can take it from there!
Oh, and no he didn’t win a Grammy… just performed his new song there.
I take this song as a question from billy himself. do we still want him, his writing, his take on romanticism? it can be be seen as a hope to rebuild a fizzled out relationship, but I feel as if Billy is asking us if we will accept him, his style. I say YES! bring it Billy!
Lots of songwriters are hot for a time, but Billy and Paul prove that the well doesn't have to run dry. Why wouldn't Taylor want to hear that?
Consiglio Leave a tender moment alone ... Live duet con Tootsie Tielemans
No! Billy Joel has said that he writes every day in order to keep the creativity alive.
You are correct, He always writes music, he just stop writing songs and recording.
You still need to let him take you to church with River of Dreams
Please review “ Elvis Presley- Don’t ( rehearsal 1970 /resync with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) 3:46
Pls B.J. “River of Dreams” TY!
Long Island's own.
Jeez…. Do the research…. This is his first original song in like 30 years…. That’s what it’s about….. “did I wait to long, to turn the lights back on”!
He's an East coaster american
React to the official video!!!
React to the official music video
Listen to the actual studio version. They deaged his voice and it progressively gets older to where he is now.
I am a HUGE Billy Joel fan... but I wasn't thrilled with this one. Maybe I just have to hear it 1000 times like the others. :)
Diworsed 3 times, latest girlfriend having their baby, is 33 years younger, something in there? for lyricks, dont know. But it sounds kind of sad. Somethin has happend to him, to write this, its not coming from empty, there is reason to it.
It’s okay I don’t know who Olivia Rodrigo is
Sadly, Billy Joel has said that he really doesn't like songwriting. It's not enjoyable for him. This is in stark contrast with someone like Taylor Swift, who says she basically enjoys songwriting more than anything.
